Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I've always been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, envisioning ways to meet people's needs while building something meaningful. Business, to me, is about innovation—creating fresh ideas, better systems, transformative technologies, and impactful products. It's not just about making money but improving lives, solving problems, and leaving a positive mark. The passion to think beyond the ordinary and contribute to a better future is what inspires and drives me every day.

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation comes from several sources. First, my family and the dream of building a lasting legacy. Second, our incredible customers, whose appreciation for the products my husband and I provide, and their love for my creations, fuel my passion. Finally, our dedication to creating a positive environmental impact and driving meaningful improvements within the seafood industry keeps me inspired and committed to our mission.
